Then you'll know you have a fucking good gun then at least.
Thats pioneer arms I think
The one I'm talking about above I mean
Yeh. I heard they had rough stuff
"Rough" ?
Rough, poorly made, shit
ah
unfortunate
So the plan is to use the DPMS as a practice rifle and get an AR-10 or FN FAL down the road once I know what the fuck I’m doing. Any suggestions on good places to shop around for an AR-10 that won’t fuckin rape my bank account but also won’t get me called poor?
most AR-10s ive seen are around 850-1000
Solid ice lower 🤔
That’s not too bad tho?
Thought $850-$1000 was normal for a gun.
Just didn’t wanna drop more than 2k on something if I can avoid it but the FN FAL is prolly gonna be more than that. It’s understandable tho it’s a good gun.
@Bean Drinker go shoot your AR a bit before deciding what’s next
The biggest issue with AR10 rifles is the lack of interchangeability of parts between manufacturers
Also you should think about _why_ you want a .308 rifle.
(Not saying that they are necessarily bad, but don’t just buy one because someone on the web said that you should buy one after you buy an AR)
On the upside, you can run 7.62 NATO through a .308 rifle with no issues because 7.62 NATO is a lighter load than .308
But it might short stroke in semi autos
Depends on the rifle
Most are over gassed so you should be fine
Surplus runs in my chinkshit M14 fine
My friend's Garand only really likes 168gr 308, but we ain't shooting that at the range so we make due with the constant failure to feeds
But that's a special case I think
My PSA10 hates 7.62 NATO
But I don't think it's a special case
I think it's a special case in that the Garand was generally rather particular with 30-06 loads, it's likely to be the same with 308
I would expect civilian AR-10s to be made for 308, so they're not like lighter 7.62, but idk about the civilian M1as and stuff like that, is the gas system modified to like 308?
By "stuff like that" I mean rifles originally chambered for 7.62x51
I want the .308 rifle because the first fully auto rifle I fired was an M240 so .308 took my auto cherry and it’s also what I bagged my first deer with.
M1s can be damaged with commercial 30-06 as it can bend the op rod. Some modern replacement parts can reduce damage to the system though
That's the only reason why my Granda didnt buy an M1.
That and Garand thumb because he could easily solve problem 1 by reloading
cause he loads his own shit
You want a modern prod and gas system anyway
True but some people just getting their rifle don't know better
My best friend had that problem but luckily I found out what was going on and stopped him
Tfw you let your brother in law use your levergat to hunt with, and he loses half the parts because he decides to clean it in the woods
Oof
this is why you dont let people use your guns unless you're with them
